    Default Blue Fly Challenge

    Why are there so few blue flies? Do they not catch fish - or do they just not catch fishermen?
    Accept the Blue Fly Challenge and find out.

    1. Tie flies with TenkaraBum Blue Fly Yarn. You can't buy the yarn. It is a free gift included with any purchase.
    2. Take photos of the fish and the fly.
    3. Submit the photos to TenkaraBum.com

    Prizes for first, most, biggest and smallest fish.

    This is a fly tying contest and the fish are the judges.

    Contest starts April 1. Blue yarn available now.

    Accept the Challenge!

    Sounds cool. I like the idea of catching the smallest fish! HOSSC

    Do they have to be caught using Tenkara gear or can we use western fly tackle or spinning tackle?

    The Blue Fly Challenge is about the fly, not the delivery system. Western fly tackle or spinning tackle would be fine, as long as the fish are caught with a fly that is predominantly blue and uses the TenkaraBum Blue Fly Yarn as one of the materials. A Mepps spinner with a blue yarn roostertail would not qualify. A blue woolly bugger cast with a threadline spinning rod would qualify, as would a blue fly fished behind a casting bubble.

    I have some flies that are blue! My buddy gave me some to try this past winter. If I wasn't so stinking busy maybe I would have caught something now. My buddy says he is killing them on the blue flies.
